DO THE SAFETY DANCE!

This week I'm working at this new cancer clinic that is currently under construction. Due to strict OSHA requirements and such, we were forced to acquire a hard hat and safety glasses while working on-site. On my way I stopped by Lowe's and bought what I thought would be the coolest safety glasses in stock. "Coolest" meaning that they really aren't attractive at all, but in-fact quite ridiculous looking. The only good thing about them is that they have this reflective sheen a la J-Lo in her "Jenny From the Block" video. The helmet is just plain white color and is remarkably comfortable. Like a blank canvas...

Goals for the week:
1. Find out a prevention method for "helmet hair"
2. Add "cool" stickers to the hard hat. Such as my favorite, "I'm radioactive and so are you!" sticker. I'm sure the brutish construction staff will get a kick out of that one. I pray I won't be beaten.
3. Develop an anti-fog process for the stylish safety glasses. Maybe I need to buy some of that scuba diving serum or use some good old-fashioned spit.
4. Buy a bright orange vest with reflective material. This will go over my normal work clothes. I'm actually not kidding about this...the site managers requested this!
5. Eat lots of whole grain and avoid fatty and cholesterolic (did I just make this word up?) foods.

I looked nothing like your description. Bah! How dare you stereotype the hard-working men and women that build our places of work and residence (and who work 6-hrs per day with 2-hrs of break and ridiculously light supervision).
